Every film submitted to the 2016 Kingdomwood Christian Film Festival was not accepted, and that’s why studio founder Audrey Thomas says they asked the African American Film Critics Association to come in. “We have a really hard time saying ‘no'”, says Thomas, “the critics can give positive criticism, and guidance so the filmmakers can resubmit.” It’s the ninth year of the festival being hosted in Atlanta.
